The latest BARB figures for Monday May 30 2022 reveal that Piers Morgan and TalkTV are still struggling to pull in much of an audience.

Even GB News thrashed them in every prime time slot, with Nigel Farage miles ahead with 99,000 viewers at 7pm.

Piers Morgan Uncensored managed 42,500 at 8pm, though embarrassingly for Morgan the last quarter of his show recorded a zero percentage audience share.

Tom Newton Dunn at The News Desk sank without a trace, with only 4,600 people tuning in at 7pm.

Things didn't get any better after Piers Morgan, with Sharon Osborne rising to only 2,200 viewers across the 9pm hour.

I've always assumed it's a grift and they know what they're doing, but maybe I've been too kind....

GB News: One Year On - The Media Show

GB News launched one year ago this week. It promised to disrupt - to hear people, places and issues that other media outlets weren’t paying attention to. The show’s design was certainly different. The opening monologue came from a studio that was almost entirely black. Viewers were noting this, they were noting sound issues too – the start of a range of technical issues for the network as a whole. Within weeks Andrew Neil was on holiday never to return. Within months, Nigel Farage had taken over a primetime show of his own. GB News Chief Executive, Angelos Frangopoulos talks to The Media Show about where the channel has come from and where it goes next.

Presenter: Ros Atkins

Producer: Helen Fitzhenry
